[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 360790, member: 7916"] Welcome, Gemma. You have found the right forum. You are right, you are good parents and your little boy is not bad. It is so hard when the everyone around you thinks your child is "bad," but you know in your heart that he is a good kid. I don't know how you get an assessment in the UK, but I urge you to do it. My son is 7 and we have had assessments by an occupational therapist, a neuropsychologist, and a psychiatrist, in addition to the assessment done by his school psychologist and school Occupational Therapist (OT). And, still, some of his diagnoses are not firm, but we do feel that we are moving in the right direction and we have made progress (though we are in crisis mode again this week). I have found that teachers and school administrators are much more sympathetic when they find out that you are having an assessment done. Your child suddenly goes from, "That kid who did something bad" to "That poor kid who needs help." Good luck. [/QUOTE]
